The National Garden which used to be the ‘Royal Garden’ is just next to the Greek Parliament at Syntagma square (which also used to be the Royal Palace). With a size of 38 acres, it’s one of the largest green spaces in the center of the city. Zappeion Hall which is adjacent to the National Garden, is a conference and exhibition hall which opened in 1888. To this day it is often used for state and private meetings and ceremonies.

The National Garden of Athens, located behind the Parliament and Syntagma Square, is a green oasis in the heart of the city of over 160.000 square meters adorned with over 500 types of plants and trees from all over the world. The gardens were designed in 1839 by order of Queen Amalia of the Greeks, but were not open to the public until 1923, when they were renamed “National Garden”. The designer of the gardens, Friedrich Schimdt, traveled all over the world in search of the most beautiful, exotic and unique flora. This task was also granted to the Hellenic Navy. The park is a picturesque green lung filled with flowers, shrubs, ancient trees and green meadows where to relax during the warm summer days. The National Garden’s most famous sights include a small pond, which is home to numerous water birds, a botanical garden, the remains of historical monuments and even a small zoo. The National Garden is a must, especially if you are traveling with small children, as it is packed with things to see and do.

Fantastic place to go for a walk. It’s got many things to see and I keep discovering more every time I go back. It’s a nice escape from the busy streets of Athens. It’s also really central so it’s an easy one to visit and explore. If you go, go look for the goldfish pond. Its a lovely surprise.
